I've been reading sporadically, but work has been so astronomically busy that my head is swimming. It's nuts!
I also see some major strength in you and your current course. Kudos for putting your needs first and finding good reasons to keep on with this theme.

Yep, this is very true. And while last year, this very thought would have devastated me beyond belief (I would have seen the rejection as a personal thing), I no longer think that way.
I really want a healthy R with myself and my SO/H. I no longer want to be tied to a person who douses his emotions with alcohol or other avoidance behaviors because it's too painful. The excuses are many, but face it.... one day the piper is gonna come a callin' and it's going to be time to do the work. After all, didn't that happen to us?
I am thoroughly disgusted with the fact that the person I thought I married is so closed off from humanity. What part of "good for me" is that? I am finally free from the bondage of being married to someone who really doesn't want to improve. Bah humbug...
So, this is exactly how I feel about Mr. W...

Amen, sista! I hear you loud and clear!

p.s. So when are you moving to Hopefulness?
